Disney officially announced that the Zombies actor and Titans alum will be taking on the roles of Flynn Rider and Rapunzel—originally voiced by Zachary Levi and Mandy Moore in Tangled—for the studio’s upcoming live action adaptation of the 2010 animated movie.

The studio confirmed the duo’s casting Jan. 7, with Milo commenting on Disney’s Instagram post, “I have seen the light.”

He further shared how excited he was for the live action remake, posting a side-by-side photo of himself and the cartoon version of Flynn to his Instagram Story, writing, “Too grateful to put into words.”

The 24-year-old added, “I will do him justice I promise.”

Meanwhile Teagan, 21, poked fun at her newcomer status in the entertainment industry, commenting on Disney’s Instagram post, “OMGGG WHO ARE THEYYYY.”

As for who will be taking over the role of Rapunzel’s evil Mother Gothel? While Scarlett Johansson was originally rumored to be in talks for the character, no casting announcement has been made at this time.

But one person who is eager to join the cast? Mandy. In fact, she even has an idea for how she could appear in the live action version.

"Maybe I could be Rapunzel's mom," she joked with Elite Daily in 2024. "Let's have a real mother-daughter duet, and have someone write an original song so we can talk about our differences and how hard it is to be a young person in this world."
